New map needs testing!

(Shaun) #1

Hi, I have a new map that I need Beta testing! I thought that if i put it up on a forum then it should get a good response. My map is called Hide And Seek and the object of the level is to destroy the opposite team. It has no real objectives and is a Tmdm and I created it after seeing not many levels where you just run around with hiding places and protection and just blow the hell out of each other so I decided to create a map. Hope you enjoy, the file is in WinRar self extractor format, follow insructions. (Fool proof)
Installer - www.ruok.me.uk/downloads/files/wolfet/maps/has/has.exe
Manual Install - www.ruok.me.uk/downloads/files/wolfet/maps/has/has.pk3

NOTE: You must keep has.pk3 named as has.pk3 for map to work!

Please post back thoughts and bugs!

I prefer not to run exe files from people I don’t know.

Fare comment, I just though it would be a lot easyer putting it in winrar exe. Well the new link is www.ruok.me.uk/downloads/files/wolfet/maps/has/has.pk3 you must put this file in your etmain folder eg C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etmain
Then to run either host own game or open console (key bellow ESC) and type /map has

Please post replys

does the map work? its my first map and is not meant to be special! Are you trying to say its crap because I dont mind what ppl say! Thats why i posted it on a forum so that I can get feedback for future development

ok… it needs some… um… more…
work…
if it’s a test as to how pk3’s work… then it’s an ok test… i see a lot of orange/black…
that means your textures don’t show
keep 2 versions of et installed… one for map making and one for the real game…
don’t install other peep’s pk3’s in your map making et install… keep it totally clean.
that way… when u do make a pk3… u can make a copy of it to your other et installl to see if it works or not.

Thanks for that… I didnt know wheather the teaxtures would work or not. and of course they dont, where do u put ur textures in your pk3?

(MadMaximus) #9

i put all my textures in a folder called ztextures… but thats just where i put them… being as ‘z’ is the last in the alphabet, im hoping no one else does…

if you want a texture folder, name it after yourself… as in shaunstextures…
and put them in there…

EDIT: oh… and don’t start putting out pk3’s just yet.
make you map… and then do all your scripting…

pk3’s can come later

Does any one know of a pk3 compiler for woflet or even Gtk Radient? I have used WolfCompile but never worked.

(MadMaximus) #11

erm… did u read my last post???

don’t worry about a pk3 compiler just yet…
to be honest, the best pk3 compiler i found is called winzip…
but that’s for later…

if u want to make a map, don’t think about how it will look compiled an all nice in a pk3 just yet…
make your map and make shure it works and then do the pk3.

K thanks for the advice. I have just installed another copy of wolfet to C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory2 and see what you mean about the orange!! lmao I need to get that fixed

(MadMaximus) #13

yeah… for fraggin fun, i have et installe as c:\et but for mapping i have it installed as c:\editing enemy territory… and i unzipped all the textues/scripts/ ect there…

if i download any new pk3’s they goto the et i play online with… but my editing et remains totally clean… in fact… i don’t even have the new et update installed to my editing et folder.
